Demolition Man
Williams, 1994
Hook
Data East, 1992Evening,
I'm looking for a new pin to add to my collection and I am torn. I absolutely love Demolition Man but they have it priced at 3000 and I enjoy Hook. That game is 2095. A little over a year ago the DM was 1895. Anyone have any opinions on what game?
I'm confused on the request. So I'll answer as best I can.
As far as DemoManss in the MN area, I swear they are more like a 1500-2000 pin all day.
I personally did not like Hook, I saw a couple sell over the past year around the same range as Demoman.
Between the two, I would go for Demolition Man, but at that price it would have to be in immaculate condition, in my opinion.
Quoted from sammiesguys:Wait for the game you want at a better price. Patience is key.
BIG time. Best advice.
Also, check out DeLeo Bro's in Woodbury, right off Tamarack and Beilenberg. If you haven't been there, its a great pizza joint with pinballs and arcades.
Demo man is a great game, but I'm going to echo what everyone has already said 3k is too much. I can see paying a couple hundred extra for a local game because you don't have to worry about shipping and get to test the game yourself before purchase...but for that price you would be better off to shop the classifieds here and have it shipped to you.
I completely understand what everyone is saying and thanks a lot for the advice. I too thought that they were overpriced but I haven't seem many pins on CL lately. I really want to get another pin. I wish the prices were not so outrageous. I know Hook is not the best game but its one that I grew up with and really wouldn't mind owning in my collection. This is the first Hook that I have ever seen locally. I have bought games before on feebay and have always been upset ha. I have been playing at BlaineBrook bowl in Anoka, MN I think? Anyways they have a DM and I have been playing that for hours when I go. The one available from a local dealer is in unbelievable condition. I haven't seen a pin look so great. I just didn't want to spend that much.
Well, good luck on your purchase either way. You could post a WTB (Want to Buy) thread here on pinside and see if anyone local has one to sell, or if someone not local is willing to ship.
The local retail shop, was it Action Pinball Warehouse in Fridley?
My brother bought one earlier this year 1400. If you keep looking you will find one for the right price
It is Action. I really like the place and the people there. Always friendly and I have bought a couple from them in the past. It seems the market is high right now lol...
I am going to try that WTB dealio and see.
Wow, 1400, really?
When I was up @ Action this past weekend, they had a Mario Bros pin there. Do not recall the price, but I noticed it on your wanted list.
Quoted from policano:The Mario is 2495 there. I think I will take it off my want list. It's ok but I played it for several games today and I just didn't get into it.
I REALLY WANTED ONE... until I played it at Al's. The game is just plain slow. I also could not get into that game. I bet my kid would love to look at it, but I doubt he'd put more than a couple games on it.
